Honda, Edmond

Honda is one of the more prominent characters in the second half of the anime, unlike most characters who were not heavily involved in the game's backstory. He is voiced by Daisuke Gōri in the Japanese version and Richard Epcar in the English dub. His personality remains relatively unchanged from the games, but his goal is shown to be fighting for cash, compared to his in-game goal of proving the strength of sumo to the world. Several aspects of his character appearance here saw usage in the Street Fighter Alpha series, much like many other characters, but more so in the Capcom vs. SNK games, where outright nods (such as his run anim being a direct copy of his attempt to charge into Bison) were included in the game.
He is first seen wrestling with Dhalsim in Calcutta to win prize money. Dhalsim manages to slip away from his grip, however, and attempts to mentally subdue Honda. Ryu's presence, however, distracts Dhalsim enough for Honda to regain control of the match and win due to forfeit. Honda catches up with Ryu, recognizing that he helped him win and the fact that Ryu is a fellow Japanese fighter, giving him half the prize money as well as a place to stay for a while.
Guile then Bison find Ryu eventually. While Ryu tries to deal with a brainwashed Ken, Honda charges forward to take on Bison, only for Bison to teleport out of his path and Ken to send him stumbling forward, straight into Balrog. He and Balrog end up fighting, eventually with both of them falling off a nearby cliff. However, Honda seems to recover quickly enough, seen lugging both the unconscious Balrog and Guile back just as Ryu and Ken defeat Bison.
